How would the technician enter a bypassed EVAP system purge control solenoid into the EIS?

• A. EVAP as Modified
• B. EVAP Bypassed
• C. EVAP Replaced
• D. EVAP Not Used

Answer: (A)

Documenting EVAP changes in the Emissions Information System requires reflecting any alteration to the factory setup as a modification. When the purge control solenoid is bypassed, the system isn’t in its original configuration, but the hardware remains—so the correct entry is EVAP as Modified. This signals that the EVAP system has been changed from stock operation, which is important for emissions reporting and diagnostic expectations.

Why the other choices don’t fit: labeling it as bypassed would imply a formal configuration option within the EIS isn’t recognized as a modification; replacing would suggest actual hardware replacement, not just bypassing; and not used would indicate the EVAP system is effectively off entirely, which isn’t the case if the system is still present but bypassed.
